    Does anyone trust the HK Gov with data about the environment when the construction lobby is involved?

    Shenzhen has a coastline of 260 kms
    within Shenzhen there are different terminals
    each terminal has its own TEU throughput data
    currently the western port Shekou is the world 3rd largest in TEUs followed by Ningbo then HKG
    Yantian on the eastern side of Shenzhen's throughput is close approaching that of HKG
    The terrminals compete with each other for business

    World shipping is rated by terminal throughput
    All this means that OGVs burning high sulfur slops surround Hong Kong more than any other set of terminals in the world
